Patented Aug. 2, 1932 UNITED srerus ENT OFFICE HARRY WILLIAM COX AND DONALD HENRY MGOEE, 0F WESTON-SUIEB-KABE, ENGLAND; SAID MOORE ASSIGNOE TG SAID COX TITOBACGO CONFEGTION No Drawing. Application filed November 12,, 3.938, Serial No. 495,286, and in Great Britain December This invention relates to a confection to be chewed by a person for relieving the crevbecomes a semi-plastic mass, when the sub stance is rolled to form a fiat sheet and left to dry, and then slightly warmed, rolled and covered with icing sugar, and finally out into tablets. e

. As an example of how the invention can be practiced for say 46 lbs. of the confection. we employ:

10 lbs. gum chicle. 28 lbs. icing sugar.

'2' lbs. lucose.

lb. 011 of peppermint, lb. powdered cinchons berlt.

46 lbs.

We place the m chicle in s steam jacketed stirrerpan an bring some to s melted or semi-fluid condition under a, gentle heat, and when melted we add the glucose, thoroughly siirring and admixing the two together, the glucose dissolving in the gum',and after edmixing, 1'? lbs. of the icing sugar is then added this being thoroughly admixed and also disolved in the other material. lhs oil of peppermint and the powdered cinchone bark ere then added and the whole thoroughly amalgamated together by the siirrers and bearers, the stirring action continuing until the whole becomes a semi-plastic mess.

l'he mass is then removed from the pen and separate portions are placed on a slab and worked. with rollers several times folding ihemateriel in fiat sheets, one roller being so adjusted as each rolling to make each sheet slightly thicker, this repeated rolling further assisting in amalgamating the material.

After rolling, each sheet is removed and placed upon a slab in a room having a. dry germ atmosphere for a period of about 24 ours.

After this drying the sheets of material are again slightly warmed and passed through rollers to roll them into sheets of the required thickness and after rolling, the sheets are covered on both sides with the remaining 11 lbs. of icing sugar which adheres to the surfaces and each sheet is then passed through a cutting machine to produce tablets 1 inch square.

The tablets are then wrapped singly or in pairs in tin foil ready for sale and use.

What we do claim as our invention and desire to obtain by Letters Patent is l. A confection comprising a chewing sweet having therein gum chicle with which is incorporated powdered cinchona, bark as an anti-tobacco agent.

2. A process for the manufacture of an. anti-tobacco confection comprising melting gum chiole under a gentle heat, when melted adding glucose thereto and admixing, dissolving icing sugsr in the mas after the glucose is dissolved, then adding oil of pop- I permini; and powdered cinchons bark to the mess, smslgamatmg the whole by stirring into 2. semi-fluid mass, further amalgamating the mass by rollin and then drying,

rollingend covering i 1e mass with icing sugar, substantially as described.

in testimony whereof We have hereunto set our hands.
